Agree, gotta have the best out there, forgive the Punn lol, besides Turbo will be under done for this type of game

Yep,he can’t stand down himself or he misses Manly’s next game.Pretty sure he wouldn’t be considered anyway given the form of Best and his performance in game 3 last year and special teams Burton is always a favourite of selectors/media.I suspect if Tom has a cracker tonight,all it’ll do is give the media something to talk about
Ponga stood down last year and wasn’t suspended from club games because of his injuries. I think Turbo would be fine also if he was to stand down.
He would never do that. Origin has top priority for the brothers. Unlike me, I admit.

Latrell also counted himself out of selection earlier this year.
I don't know Bob but that seems a bit harsh if you do. If comes through tonight's game but says I don't think I'm ready for Origin, would they make him stand down for the next Manly game? I don't know what the rule is.

Maguire would be mad to pick him over Best or Sualii.

Latrell never said he was making himself unavailable,the media came up with a story that he was thinking of making himself unavailable

NRL insist players must be available for Origin
Any plans Latrell Mitchell may have of skipping State of Origin to help fix South Sydney's sorry season...

'I bleed blue': Latrell Mitchell rubbishes reports he didn't want to be picked for Origin
After missing the past two series, Latrell Mitchell says he is available for the NSW Blues but his form has not been good enough for Michael Maguire to pick him for State of Origin I.

I would like to see Suaalii get another chance.
Surely Burton or Best will be next in line...surely.

Tommy looked completely gassed after 10 minutes. Best would have to get the nod, wouldn't he? And while we're at it, Ponga should go straight into the Queensland team🙂
Best will be SOO centre, Tom needs a few games under his belt.

He looked really unsure and didn’t have any real speed at all.
